Need More Organic Streams? Check Out Our Top Ranked Music Promo Options

Written by Omari

Even though there is no official pay per stream amount given by Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, or any other platform, artists, labels, and users around the globe have gathered data and can give a fairly accurate estimation of how much they’ll receive in royalties from their plays. 

Royalties also depend on which country or continent the streams are coming from, as well as if the user is premium or free. For YouTube, it also depends on how much is being bid on the keyword your song is ranking for. 

Different labels also have different payment structures with some of the platforms to keep their music on there.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
